In June 2025, many of us are taking part in the 30-Day “On This Date” Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, the challenge encourages participants to engage in a meaningful or enjoyable activity inspired by a historical event, anniversary, or personal memory tied to that specific date. My anniversary event has to do with the 1968 death of RFK.
In 1968, I had a morning paper route, delivering the Newark Star-Ledger by bicycle before school each day. Every morning, a bundle of that day’s papers would be waiting on my front porch, ready for me to fold and pack into my carrier bag before heading out on my route. On June 6th, I opened the bundle to see headlines reporting the tragic shooting of Sen Robert F Kennedy (RFK) that had unfolded on June 5th.
On This Date-30 Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to think about the history of each day in June.
- Record something about what happened on this date. It can be an event, memory, or anniversary.

June 5-RFK
On June 5, 1968, RFK was shot shortly after delivering a victory speech at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, celebrating his win in the California Democratic primary. He was a leading candidate for the presidency, known for his advocacy for civil rights, social justice, and unity during a turbulent time in American history. Kennedy succumbed to his injuries the following day, leaving a lasting impact on the nation and ending a promising political legacy.
